include/linux/sched/mm.h: use rcu_dereference in in_vfork()

2021-03-17T16:11:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit 149fc787353f65b7e72e05e7b75d34863266c3e2 ] Fix a sparse warning by using rcu_dereference(). Technically this is a bug and a sufficiently aggressive compiler could reload the `real_parent' pointer outside the protection of the rcu lock (and access freed memory), but I think it's pretty unlikely to happen.

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe: "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work. Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand wait queue head lock. The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be. Roman Gershman reported that his networked workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there [1]. There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well" [1] https://github.com/axboe/liburing/issues/215 * tag 'tif-task_work.arch-2020-12-14' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (28 commits) io_uring: remove 'twa_signal_ok' deadlock work-around kernel: remove checking for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL signal: kill JOBCTL_TASK_WORK io_uring: JOBCTL_TASK_WORK is no longer used by task_work task_work: remove legacy TWA_SIGNAL path sparc: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL riscv: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL nds32: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL ia64: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL h8300: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL c6x: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL alpha: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL xtensa: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL arm: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL microblaze: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL hexagon: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL csky: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL openrisc: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL sh: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL um: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL ...

mm: extract might_alloc() debug check

2020-12-15T20:13:41+00:00

Extracted from slab.h, which seems to have the most complete version including the correct might_sleep() check. Roll it out to slob.c. Motivated by a discussion with Paul about possibly changing call_rcu behaviour to allocate memory, but only roughly every 500th call. There are a lot fewer places in the kernel that care about whether allocating memory is allowed or not (due to deadlocks with reclaim code) than places that care whether sleeping is allowed. But debugging these also tends to be a lot harder, so nice descriptive checks could come in handy. I might have some use eventually for annotations in drivers/gpu. Note that unlike fs_reclaim_acquire/release gfpflags_allow_blocking does not consult the PF_MEMALLOC flags. But there is no flag equivalent for GFP_NOWAIT, hence this check can't go wrong due to memalloc_no*_save/restore contexts. Willy is working on a patch series which might change this: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200625113122.7540-7-willy@infradead.org/ I think best would be if that updates gfpflags_allow_blocking(), since there's a ton of callers all over the place for that already.

cpufreq: Add special-purpose fast-switching callback for drivers

2020-12-15T18:24:18+00:00

First off, some cpufreq drivers (eg. intel_pstate) can pass hints beyond the current target frequency to the hardware and there are no provisions for doing that in the cpufreq framework. In particular, today the driver has to assume that it should not allow the frequency to fall below the one requested by the governor (or the required capacity may not be provided) which may not be the case and which may lead to excessive energy usage in some scenarios. Second, the hints passed by these drivers to the hardware need not be in terms of the frequency, so representing the utilization numbers coming from the scheduler as frequency before passing them to those drivers is not really useful. Address the two points above by adding a special-purpose replacement for the ->fast_switch callback, called ->adjust_perf, allowing the governor to pass abstract performance level (rather than frequency) values for the minimum (required) and target (desired) performance along with the CPU capacity to compare them to. Also update the schedutil governor to use the new callback instead of ->fast_switch if present and if the utilization mertics are frequency-invariant (that is requisite for the direct mapping between the utilization and the CPU performance levels to be a reasonable approximation).
